Solar System Mobile
Contemplate the universe in a ball of yarn!
This is a crochet pattern suitable for intermediate crocheters, and involves the following techniques:
- Working flat and in rounds
- The following crochet stitches: ch, sl st, sc, dc, tr
- Working in back loops only
- Foundationless sc/dc/tr (optional)
- Magic ring (instructions for this are included with the pattern, also known as adjustable ring)
Finished mobile is about 6 1/2 inches across the main ring and about 10 inches from the top of the main ring to the lowest planet.
I’ve also made a few quick videos to demonstrate various techniques used in the pattern:
